Because they weren't getting the answers they wanted.

Yeah but at first their main consultant was a dark skinned lady with curly black hair (I think the actress used to be on Casualty or The Bill) and then she was replaced by this red haired one without any explanation I thought

Lennox Gilbey · 18-09-2020 10:22am

She did seem to come out of nowhere. I think it was posted here this new one, Caroline Harding (Chris Gascoyne's real-life wife) was going into it but she just seemed to appear.

Corrie on ITV tonight for an hour and 5 minutes eating into Enders for 5 minutes. As for Virgin (on the ridiculous),... An hour from 8 but is it the same second half as ITV? Answers on a postcard please.

I think the first doctor was a pediatrician but not a specialist. The doctor on screen now is the consultant/specialist.

With a condition like Olivers he would not be in the local general hospital.

Yes, so the first doctor was the pediatrician at Weatherfield General and the second was at the Children's Hospital (or where ever).

Evelyn's in the back room.
Roy's at the suppliers.
Rita and Audrey are coccooning.
Ken loves minding Bertie.
Gail always minds Lily.

That's all fine, we as the audience know why the kids and seniors are not really onscreen and can accept the repeated excuse for their absence and it's all good, we can focus on who is actually in the scene. Why then, do they seem to always fumble it when it comes to Jack Webster, with ham-fisted scenes of Kevin talking to himself in the hallway or pretending Jack's in the next room with headphones and doesn't want his dinner. Just stop drawing attention to it.

Shelga · 21-09-2020 9:51pm

Anyone else finding their attention dropping massively since it went back to 6 episodes? So much filler. Didn’t even watch it tonight. Less is more.

It's like Deirdre telling us that Tracy is upstairs listening to get tapes again.

I noticed during tonight's episode when Kevin was talking to "Jack" again he actually said something like "am I talking to myself here". Yes, yes you are Kev!

Delta2113 · 22-09-2020 2:19pm

Actually like the Daniel and Nicky stuff. The Restaurant owner is some lowlife.

All the soaps are doing this talking to the kids off screen oh good it’s annoying

I think Ray will buy Nick's share of the factory

The silent invisible quads is the most far fetched of all I think.

When Steve was talking about raising money by releasing capital from Street Cars, he something about getting a flyer in from a property company. I bet that's Ray's pal. Ray will be going after the whole block.

I bet the cast and crew are happy enough with that arrangement - I read somewhere that each baby is played by two "actors" due to the laws around children working, so logistically with all those babies and a parent supervising each it is quite a challenge on set. I bet they're regretting that storyline.

Immortal Starlight · 23-09-2020 12:19pm

I think most people are regretting that storyline. I’ve never watched anything so boring in my life.

Hannibal_Smith · 23-09-2020 8:33pm

Why this nonsense drivel with Peter/Abi/Kevin... They're like teenagers!

23-09-2020 8:57pm

Where is Daniel getting all his money from to pay Nikki

Seems like Geoff is the new client that seriously assaulted Nicki (she must have described him in the hospital), obviously in Ray's hotel where she likely does all her trade. Ray likely is a big-time pimp. It's all unfolding now.

Shelga · 23-09-2020 9:20pm

Wouldn’t Nicky be considering a career change in the time of coronavirus anyway?? Especially if she lives with her mum, who looks like she’s getting on a bit.

Could he have taken Geoff's envelope and somehow used it to get that money? It was odd seeing him with it all at the end.

I think the prostitution story started out alright but then it's like they gave up and went with a cliched and lazy direction.

Mary and Brian were great as usual but they can't lean on them forever.

casio4 · 23-09-2020 10:06pm

How is Abi working in the garage with one hand? surely she should still be out on sick leave. She has the full overalls on so she's not just there to answer the phone. Why was Nikki wearing a face mask in a hospital bed? She has a head injury for feck sake she needs to breathe

Meeoow · 23-09-2020 10:12pm

How is Nikki stuck for money?
She charges 150 quid a pop and gets free sangiches from a punter. She doesn't always go through the agency for bookings.

harr · 23-09-2020 10:14pm

A terrible amount of filler content, the waffle between the 3 of the them in factory office while waiting for Sarah was brutal and no need for it ..

That was painful to watch and pointless too.

Have you taken up script writing? I do like your line of thought!

So am I the only one who hates Mary? I find her an un-funny space filler.

I don’t like her either seems to be a nasty side to her aswell if u don’t agree with her.

I suppose 'Mother' made her like that. I wish they would follow through on that sometimes. It would make her more interesting than the bumbling fool she is now. The current crop of writers don't seem to know what to do with anyone.

FGS, the dogs in the street knew Peter is a recovering alcoholic. There would be no great surprise/scandal that he would be advising Abi.

Just tell the 'big London client' the truth. Her car broke down. She will be late. Do they not have phones in Weatherfield that she could ring him, apologise and park him in the bistro/Roy's rolls at Underworld's expense?

I don't care about Michael and his (or not his) baby, sorry. I am not at all invested in him. He is ex gf is quite clearly crackers, shouting at Carla in his defence.

24-09-2020 1:20am

What’s with all the filler scenes with brain Mary toy ah and Michael

Toyah & Mary deserve better the other two I don’t care about

Can't stand Mary, nothing about her appeals to me

This thing of Mary and Brian went on and on. Such utter and complete nonsense. Viewers are not five year olds.

Ah sure the mask situation is gas. They all take them off as soon as they walk into the pub/shop/House.

Was there a time in the UK that they were for out door use only?

Remember when she kidnapped Norris?

threetrees · 24-09-2020 9:56am

Abi and Tim should have an affair, since they are a couple in real life it's the only exception to SD they can do.

Ah I like Mary, silly filler story alright. I thought the story was going to turn into "don't pick wildflowers" rather than the type of flowers! I get a bit peeved when they are picked, they are there for everyone to enjoy, not just the person who picks them. (I sound like Mary, no wonder I like her!).

magicray · 24-09-2020 12:18pm

The factory story line with Toyah and Michael was cringeworthy - they must have been mortified doing it

I like Mary and Brian as characters but that flower story was ridiculous :rolleyes:

Daniel is a very good actor imo I am liking his storyline with Nikki - it would be great if she was the one to bring down Geoff

JP Liz V1 · 24-09-2020 1:36pm

Why did Geoff go see Adam, Imran is Yasmeen's solicitor so no information can be given out or him taken on as conflict of interest with him being the "victim"

It was too ridiculous for words. How anyone could sit down and write such drivel is truly bizarre.

Daniel should write a piece on Geoff, investigate

Alice1 · 24-09-2020 11:29pm

Yay, g'wan Daniel

Shelga · 25-09-2020 8:48pm

I may not have seen every second of the previous few episodes- why was Geoff walking around with a big wad of cash anyway and exactly how much is it?

*Edit: Daniel just said £5k, sorry!
